If the pillows on your bed are as flat as the blankets when you get up in the morning, open the curtains and let them sit in the sun for a few hours to help fluff them up naturally.

Real Simple points out that while we sleep, we tend to sweat (or drool) and that moisture winds up in the pillows. By placing them in the sun on a bright day and letting them sit there for a few hours, all of that moisture—and moisture that builds up over nights of use-will evaporate and the pillows will fluff up over the course of the day.

You may still need to fluff them by hand before going to bed at night, but it's a good tip regardless. Your mileage, however, may vary, especially if you live somewhere the sun doesn't shine too often. Do you have any secret bed-making tips? Share your tips in the comments. Photo by Rev. Stan.
